It is recommended to brush your teeth twice per day. However, there are people who, besides failing to brush their teeth twice in a day, do not do it at all.
According to Matthew Messina, a dentist and American Dental Association spokesman, failing to brush your teeth is preparing for problems.
Messina terms it a grave mistake to toss away your toothbrush for one year because these individuals who fail to brush their teeth daily develop cavities.
Further, they are prone to be infected with periodontal diseases.
The disease makes your gums become very painful. In some extreme cases, you are likely to experience the fall of your teeth. When you do not brush out the bacteria in your tooth, your immune system is also likely to be weaker.
The increased accumulation of the bacteria will cause you more harm than good at the end of the day.
Brushing removes the bacteria in your teeth making them remain healthy. Besides brushing the teeth, it is advisable to seek attention from a dentist once in a while.
The dentist will cross-examine the teeth and advise you where necessary. The pain that comes with tooth decay and breakage cannot be underestimated.
Never ignore the health of your teeth.
